Perched atop a hill in Labin, Istria, this charming town offers sweeping views over Rabac and the azure Adriatic Sea. Once Croatia’s largest coal mining centre, Labin’s rich past includes a pioneering anti-fascist uprising in 1921. Today, it blends vibrant history with leisurely holiday appeal, where visitors can don helmets to explore atmospheric mining tunnels.
Labin’s old town captivates with its colourful Baroque, Renaissance, and Gothic architecture lining the cobbled streets. Highlights include the Fortica fortress, offering panoramic vistas of Rabac and the Island of Cres, the striking Church of the Virgin Mary’s Birth, and echoes of Dubrovnik in the town’s defensive walls. The Dubrova Sculpture Park, dotted with over seventy outdoor works, adds an artistic flair.
Local gastronomy thrives in the area’s many restaurants and bars, notably the iconic three-storey Velo Kafé. Nearby Rabac, just fifteen minutes away, offers pristine pebbled beaches like Girandella and Maslinica, perfect for families, swimming, and snorkelling. Guests can also enjoy water sports, boat excursions to hidden coves such as Miami Beach or the enchanting Island of Cres, and lively evenings at welcoming bars like Perla or Vanilija Rabac.
